I think the site though only has prime time shows but they do have ratings for korean dramas that air on NHK I think. I do want to know the ratings of sports games and especially those Mariner games in Japan since Ichiro is pretty popular

Fukigen na Gene doesn't seem to be doing too well, considering that its in the coveted Monday 9pm slot?

Yea, last year during the same season, Takeuchi Yuko was in the Monday slot also, however the difference was that her counter part was called Kimutaku and this year it isn't. She sort of lacks a strong male lead in my opinion for this drama, sort of like Yukia Nakama not getting a better looking guy in Tokyo Wankei.

hmm searched through the database, and there is no threads on tv ratings.. i understand the ratings are just an indicator of what is popular to the Japanese audience and what appeals to them might not be as enticing for us (e.g. medical drama).. so anyone keep track of the winner for the respective seasons? or am i the only one who is interested =P
